In 1930, Conservative leader Stanley Baldwin said this about Lord Rothermere: "the effect of an enormous fortune rapidly made and the control of newspapers of your own ... goes to your head like wine ... [such people seek] to dictate, to dominate, to blackmail." Let's hear our pols say it of Musk.

And that was what the leading Tory thought! Rothermere and his papers were truly in love with Uncle Adolf. The Mail carried ads for Nazi party fundraising until late in the 30s, as did the Telegraph and the Express.

One of the many examples from history that demonstrate we deal with some of the same issues. We might really want to change the not learning from history thing.

96 years, and we - the people - have learned nothing. We have not stopped the wealth accumulation, we have not stopped the acquisition of power, we have not protected an important element of "holding power to account", the press. Well done us, well done.

Baldwin also said (less charitably) of Rothermere: "What the proprietorship of these papers is aiming at is power, and power without responsibility—the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages"

And equally pertinently, when describing attempts by Rothermere to bring down his government over trade policy ‘Power without responsibility, the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages ‘

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Our politicians are scared of him which means he can do whatever he wants here, to any of us. What is the point of a Government if it cannot protect us, why should be pay taxes when they don't deliver?

Or the current Lord Rothermere, Jonathan Harmsworth. Owner of the Daily Mail and reluctant tax payer.
